AUCKLAND, Wednesday: Auckland based production house Reel Factory have just released WTF is Crypto, the latest in their long-form ventures via TVNZ+.

“Directed by Rita Attwood, the six-episode series tells the stories of Aotearoa-based pioneers all making a name for themselves in cryptocurrency and blockchain.
“WTF is Crypto? is a little bit cheeky, a lot informative and a great insight into how New Zealanders are contributing to the crypto revolution.
Executive producer Hamish Trott said: “We’ve taken a commercial production approach to capturing beautifully crafted vision, with RF’s in-house DOP Chris Watkins behind the lens and Reel Factory’s suite of specialty cinema camera equipment deployed to elevate production value.”
“As WTF is Crypto? unfolds the audience will learn how Crypto works, dip their toes into web-3, hear the stories of how it all began, and get a glimpse of what the future might look like.
“Featuring the likes of Aaron McDonald and Brooke Howard-Smith; Non-Fungible Labs – who created a tidal wave globally with their NFTs, Janine Grainger shares her story of how Easy Crypto began in the middle of a pandemic, and a glimpse into what the future may look like from pioneer Kaye-Maree Dunn and her company Āhau.”
All six episodes are available now on TVNZ+.
“From Bitcoin to Shitcoin, the crypto world can seem mind-numbingly complex.”
